Ravens Star WR Will Play vs. Steelers
BALTIMORE — Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for Saturday’s crucial AFC North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens wanted to see how he did in warmups, and things went smoothly.
Bateman popped up on the injury report on Wednesday, practicing in a limited role. And then on Thursday, he did not practice. Bateman was spotted by reporters with a boot on in the locker room after Thursday’s practice.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was mute when asked about Bateman’s injury after Thursday’s practice.
“I really have nothing to report on that stuff,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll be working through all those things the next few hours and few days even. We’ll be in good shape, and ready to role on [Saturday].”
Bateman is Baltimore’s No. 2 receiver, with 654 yards on 38 reception this season, behind only Zay Flowers. After Bateman, Baltimore’s next-most prolific receivers are tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely and running back Justice Hill.
Bateman is coming off a two-touchdown performance against the New York Giants. He ranks second on the team in touchdown receptions with seven, behind only Andrew’s eight.
The Ravens have ruled veteran wide receiver Nelson Agholor out of the team’s game on Saturday, the team announced after walkthrough on Friday. The club had initially listed Agholor as questionable. He has been in the NFL concussion protocol since leaving last Sunday’s game against the Giants and did not practice this week.
Tylan Wallace, with 10 catches for 191 yards, and rookie Tez Walker, with one reception on the season, will both replace Agholor in the lineup.
Former Steelers wide receiver Anthony Miller was elevated for the game. It will be Miller’s Ravens debut and first regular season game in three years.
Odafe Oweh (ankle) and right guard Daniel Faalele (knee) are active after being questionable.
Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring), safety Marcus Williams, running back Keaton Mitchell, outside linebacker Adisa Isaac and center Nick Samac are inactive.
